The Daily cartoons this week were brought to us by Brendon Loper, Farley Katz, Peter Kuper, Tim Hamilton, and JAK (Jason Adam Katzenstein). A mixed-bag, thematically, with three outta five of the cartoons Trumpish.

Meant to post this a few weeks back. It was taken at The New York Historical Society opening for Mort Gerberg’s exhibit. That’s Mr. Gerberg on the left and the great Edward Sorel on the right.

The exhibit, “Mort Gerberg Cartoons: A New Yorker’s Perspective” runs through May 5th.

Elisabeth McNair Pencilled

Jane Mattimoe’s wonderful Case For Pencils continues with the spotlight on Elisabeth McNair (above) and her tools of the trade. Ms. McNair’s first New Yorker drawing appeared in the July 30, 2018 issue. See the post here.

Not to be too nit-picky about this, but Mr. Grace identifies the above as his second New Yorker cartoon, yet I’m unable to find his first on the New Yorker‘s database. Perhaps he sold two, and only one (the one above) appeared? Mr. Grace, if you see this, please advise.

The cartoonist (and Spill One Clubber*) Bud Grace has posted a short interesting piece about New Yorker cartoonist, Peter Steiner. Within the post is the painting Mr. Steiner did of Mr. Grace (an exhibit of Steiner’s portraits was held at the Hotchkiss School some years ago. It was a fun experience walking around looking at the paintings and then recognizing some of the subjects as they strolled by).

*Ink Spill’s One Club is limited to cartoonists who have contributed just one drawing to the magazine in their career. Every member is identified on the Spill’s A-Z by the red top-hatted fellow you see below
